Made some new additions to my shop. I redone the my pop tab belt. This time i made it with nylon thread. Much stronger and durable then the cotton yarn i was using the first time. Also i changed the buckle to a two tongue buckle, because it works better with the belt holes. I am also in the process of making a blue an white version of this belt.

I have been busy making more baskets and rephotographing them so they look more attractive. I have glad i took the time to do that. I like the photographs of them much more. I used cloth flower petals as props. The green one is going to be my xmas version, just because it is green ;)

I have so many ideas on what i want to make with pop tabs lately, that i started a idea journal. I basically have written done what it is, how it looks and what i a am going to need to make it. I can use it later on to work the ideas out.

Finally finished the pull tab belt today. It is crocheted from 208 pull tabs. I used dark blue cotton yarn. It is 39 inches long and 1.7 inches width. I also am planning to make a "large" version of this on, that will be 43 inches. I shot some pictures of it and listed it on etsy.

My next project is a crocheted pull tab bracelet. I already made some test bracelets but did not like the outcome of them.

I made my own pull tab basket with white Tye wraps. It is made of 97 pull tabs. I took me 3 days of trying, cutting every lose and try again. I shorted my nails by pulling all the Tye wraps by hand. The next time I gonna use some pliers to pull it all. I like how it came out. You can out. I shot some pictures of it and put it in my etsy store. It already made an appearance in etsy treasury. This bowl in etsy treasury :)
